The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 282 The True Method
After Gu Ze brought Li Yan to Taiyi Sword Mountain.

Li Yan used his spiritual sense to explore and immediately noticed the nine towering stone tablets on the top of the mountain.

So he flew straight over and reached the top of the mountain.

The nine stone tablets exude an extremely ancient atmosphere. They are three meters wide and ten meters high, and are engraved with ancient and heavy sword patterns, just like flying swords.

Li Yan did not recognize these Dao patterns, but that did not prevent him from understanding their meaning.

Under these nine stone tablets, many young monks were sitting cross-legged in the front row, meditating.

At the same time, there are several Mahayana monks sitting next to these young monks.

They were not protecting the stone tablet, but protecting the young disciples who were comprehending the stone tablet.

Li Yan took a quick look and found that most of these young cultivators were still in the Qi Refining stage and had not yet entered the door.

However, there are also many young cultivators who have condensed their innate sword energy and practiced the Taiyi Sword Canon to the foundation-building stage.

The young cultivator with the highest level of cultivation here has even reached the Void Refinement Stage and is currently comprehending the sixth stone tablet.

"Tianmen is indeed the place where the strong men of the Taiyi Sword Realm gather. It can actually train so many monks who have mastered the basics of sword training."

Li Yan nodded slightly towards these young monks.

These young disciples all have extraordinary talent in swordsmanship. If they were placed in the lower realms, they would all be geniuses capable of becoming top sword masters.

But even so, there are not many cultivators who can master the Taiyi Sword Classic.

Of course, compared to the Five Continents, the number of cultivators here who have truly mastered the Taiyi Sword Canon is dozens or even hundreds of times more.

This must be due to the teachings of the strong people in Tianmen.

Li Yan's aura, which was comparable to that of the peak Mahayana realm, was not concealed at all, so his arrival immediately attracted the attention of a group of Mahayana cultivators.

However, since Li Yan was a human cultivator, these Mahayana cultivators did not take Li Yan seriously.

Ever since Immortal Lord Yunmeng placed these nine stone tablets on Taiyi Sword Mountain, many powerful human beings have come to watch.

Not only the strong humans, but also some spies from other races came to join in the fun.

However, the skills written on the nine stone tablets can only be practiced by human beings.

The nine stone tablets have taken root in Taiyi Sword Mountain and cannot be moved or damaged, so the alien spies can't do anything even if they come.

What's more, this is the territory of Immortal Lord Yunmeng, and there are many powerful people here.

There are not only Mahayana cultivators, but also many powerful people in the realm of True Immortal.

As soon as the alien spies reveal their traces, they will be immediately surrounded and killed, so now no aliens dare to come here anymore.

After all, Li Yan's aura was that of a Mahayana realm, so among the group of Mahayana sword practitioners, a young man in simple clothes flew over to pay him a visit.

"My name is Song Yang, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"Taiyi Sword Mountain is the place where Yunmeng Immortal Lord arranged for young cultivators to comprehend the stone tablet."

"As a Mahayana cultivator, I welcome you to comprehend the stone tablet, but please do not disturb these young disciples from comprehending the sword canon."

Song Yang bowed slightly towards Li Yan and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Li Yan bowed in return and said, "Of course."

Seeing Li Yan's agreement, Song Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation!"

Li Yan nodded slightly, then flew directly to the front of the first stone tablet, intending to start from the first stone tablet and comprehend the Taiyi Sword Classic again.

When he was in the lower world, he also saw the copy of the stone tablet that Yunmeng Immortal Lord sent into the lower world, which was no different from what Qingya Patriarch had passed down.

However, it seems that the skills he now uses are slightly different from those recorded on the nine stone tablets before him.

But at Li Yan's level, it is a little difficult to distinguish.

If one had to point out the difference, Li Yan felt that the Taiyi Sword Canon he practiced seemed to lack a certain charm in comparison.

And on the original stone tablet that recorded the Taiyi Sword Classic, Li Yan felt a different flavor.

If he could complete his comprehension of it, he felt that his practice of the Taiyi Sword Canon would be truly complete.

At this moment, Gu Zhe, who was leading the way for Li Yan, also hurried over.

Just now, Li Yan came at full speed to comprehend the nine stone tablets, but he left Gu Zhe behind.

It was not until Li Yan walked to the front of the stone tablet that he arrived at the top of Taiyi Sword Mountain.

But before he could meet up with Li Yan, he saw Li Yan had already sat down in front of the first stone tablet.

Seeing this, Gu Zhe had no choice but to stop and wait for Li Yan to complete his comprehension before meeting Li Yan.

He had finally come across a great partner, so naturally he was unwilling to cut off contact.

"Senior Li has just come to Tianmen, so he must not have found a cave for cultivation yet. When he has finished his contemplation, I will find a cave for him. If he needs anything in the future, I can contact him at his home!"

Gu Zhe looked at Li Yan's direction and didn't find it strange to see Li Yan starting to comprehend from the first stone tablet.

He didn't know that Li Yan was practicing the Taiyi Sword Canon, and thought that Li Yan was practicing other skills.

"Unfortunately, if you want to practice the Taiyi Sword Canon, you must start from the beginning."

"Otherwise, I would like to practice this technique. If I succeed, even if I can't obtain the subsequent techniques, I will have the opportunity to achieve the realm of True Immortal."

"Besides, Yunmeng Immortal Lord once said that the technique on this stone tablet contains a great secret, and it is not just as simple as a powerful technique."

Gu Zhe sighed and shook his head. It had taken him tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the Mahayana realm, and he didn't want to abandon his cultivation and start over from scratch.

He had previously watched and comprehended the nine stone tablets only to satisfy his curiosity.

In his eyes, Li Yan should be the same.

After all, Li Yan is a cultivator who has reached the realm of True Immortal and is much stronger than him. How could he be willing to abandon his own cultivation and practice this technique from scratch?

"Gu Zhe? What are you doing here?"

Just when Gu Zhe was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

His attention was focused on Li Yan just now, but he did not realize that among the Mahayana sword practitioners stationed at Taiyi Sword Mountain, there was actually a fellow countryman from the Four Seas.

"Song Yang? Why are you here?"

Gu Zhe looked carefully and found Song Yang, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He didn't expect to meet Song Yang here.

Song Yang chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I was spotted by a True Immortal senior, who arranged for me to look after these young disciples at Taiyi Sword Mountain."

"What about you? Are you here to comprehend the nine stone tablets as well? I remember you came here once before?"

Gu Zhe was surprised when he heard this, and a hint of envy appeared on his face.

Staying in Taiyi Sword Mountain to look after the young disciples is a good job.

Not only is there no risk, but the salary is also considerable. After all, this is equivalent to working for the Immortal Lord Yunmeng, which is something many people would love to do.

If he could get this job, he wouldn't have to take risks outside the Central Region.

"Congratulations, you are really lucky!"

Gu Zhe first bowed to Song Yang in congratulations, then a hint of pride appeared in his eyes, and he answered: "I came here with a True Immortal senior. That senior came to Tianmen for the first time and wanted to see the nine stone tablets, so I brought him here."

"What? A True Immortal Senior is here?"

A trace of surprise appeared in Song Yang's eyes. He was familiar with Gu Zhe and naturally didn't believe that Gu Zhe would deceive him.

It's just that he was stationed at Taiyi Sword Mountain, and he clearly didn't encounter any seniors in the True Immortal Realm...

Wait, that Mahayana cultivator just now! As expected, Song Yang followed Gu Zhe's gaze and moved to Li Yan, who was already concentrating on comprehending the stone tablet.

Then Gu Zhe said, "That is the True Immortal I brought with me, Li Yan, Senior Li!"

Song Yang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He just thought that Li Yan was just an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, so fortunately he did not say anything offensive.

However, he still had some doubts in his heart, and asked: "How do you know that the senior is a True Immortal?"

"Didn't you say he had just entered the Heavenly Gate?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhe explained: "Perhaps this senior has a more stable personality, so he cultivated to the True Immortal Realm before entering the Heavenly Gate."

"I was originally looking for the origin of the Heavenly Dao in the outer area of the Central Region, but I never expected to meet a ninth-level strongman from the Jin Clan."

"Luckily, Senior Li showed up and frightened the Jin Clan warrior away, otherwise I would be in danger!"

Song Yang's expression became serious when he heard this. He knew very well how difficult it would be to escape from the hands of a ninth-level alien warrior.

It is really not easy for Gu Zhe to return to the Eastern Region.

At the same time, he also understood that being able to scare away a ninth-rank Jin Clan warrior was enough to prove that Li Yan was indeed in the realm of True Immortal, and not just a beginner, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do so.

There was a hint of respect in his eyes when he looked at Li Yan.

In addition to the five great immortal kings, the strong ones in the realm of true immortals are the backbone of the human race in countering alien races.

It is indeed a blessing for the Tianmen human race to have such a powerful True Immortal.

Gu Zhe was also looking at Li Yan, but suddenly, he seemed to discover that there was an inexplicable aura on Li Yan.

At the same time, the first stone tablet seemed to have lost something and became ordinary.

"This is……?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Gu Zhe's eyes. He blinked, thinking he had seen it wrong.

Just the next moment.

He then noticed Li Yan flying and landing in front of the second stone tablet.

……

"The skills on this stone tablet are indeed different!"

Sitting in front of the second stone tablet, a hint of joy appeared on Li Yan's face.

He practiced the seven levels of exercises from the Qi training stage to the Hedao stage in sequence.

Then he felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable charm in the first stone tablet that recorded the exercises of the Qi training period, which was absorbed into his body.

The skills that circulated in his body also underwent some changes after absorbing the inexplicable charm from the stone tablet, but the changes were not obvious now.

Li Yan then began to comprehend the second stone tablet.

Not long after, a similar aura was absorbed into his body.

He clearly felt that the martial arts he was originally practicing had undergone some subtle changes.

Li Yan did not stop, the third, the fourth... the eighth, the ninth!

There was a hint of divine charm in each of these nine stone tablets, which was absorbed into Li Yan's body.

After correcting the Taiyi Sword Canon he practiced, all the spiritual charm in his body was absorbed into the sword body of his natal flying sword, Mo Yuanjian.

Then Li Yan felt that there seemed to be a brand new sword law that was constantly being nurtured in the Mo Yuan Sword.

Moreover, the level of this sword law is much higher than the original ninth-level sword killing law in Mo Yuan's sword.

"Not only that, I have also comprehended the Mahayana chapter and the True Immortal chapter of the Taiyi Sword Canon."

"And I feel that apart from me, no one else can practice the true Taiyi Sword Canon!"

"Even if I want to pass on this method to the outside world, it is impossible!"

Li Yan was extremely delighted.

He arrived at Tianmen and found that he had not come to the wrong place.

The skills recorded in these nine stone tablets are the only way.

The so-called Taiyi Sword Canon comprehended by the cultivators, although powerful and of high grade, is not the true method recorded on the stone tablet.

Only the charm that he has gained from comprehending the stone tablet now is the true method recorded on the nine stone tablets.

Taiyi Sword Classic is just its form.

The traces of divine charm on the stone tablet are the true core of the method, and can only be obtained by one person.

At the sixth stone tablet, there was a young cultivator who had practiced the Taiyi Sword Canon to the Lianxu realm and was comprehending the sword patterns on the tablet.

Suddenly he opened his eyes.

He felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important.

Looking up at the Dao patterns on the stone tablet again, I felt that the sword patterns that seemed to be so agile before seemed to have lost their luster at this moment.

"Could it be that I have gone astray in my practice?"

The young monk was startled and quickly recited a spell to calm his mind.

After a cup of tea, the feeling of loss in his heart finally subsided, and everything seemed to return to normal.

……

"I guess my eyes are blurry! Even Immortal Lord Yunmeng and Immortal Lord Jiangling cannot move these nine stone tablets."

“Although Senior Li is very powerful, how could he possibly have any influence on these nine stone tablets?”

Gu Zhe quickly convinced himself, and then he looked at the nine stone tablets again. They seemed to be no different from the previous ones, so he felt relieved.

Li Yan finally digested the nine charms in the stone tablet. He was quite happy and turned around to leave the stone tablet.

Then he noticed Gu Zhe and Song Yang who had been waiting for a long time.

"I didn't know you were a True Immortal just now. I was rude. Please forgive me!"

Song Yang quickly bowed and apologized.

He was afraid that calling Li Yan "fellow Daoist" just now would make Li Yan unhappy.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yan didn't care.

Then he heard Gu Zhe say, "Senior, are you looking for a cave to practice in? I am very familiar with the caves in various places in the Eastern Region. How about letting me continue to lead the way for you?"

"can."

Li Yan nodded.

He is not familiar with the various places in the Eastern Region, so it would be great if Gu Zhe was willing to help.

Gu Zhe asked cautiously, "Where do you plan to settle down? The five immortal kings' immortal cities are full of spiritual energy, and they are safe because they are guarded by the immortal kings. Do you want to find a cave in these places?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Forget it. I like quieter places."

He had just arrived at Tianmen and didn't want to come into contact with the five immortal kings too early.

After all, he has many secrets, and now he has obtained the true method of Taiyi Sword Canon, so it is better for him to stay away from these five powerful immortal kings.

Although Yunmeng Immortal Lord has done him many favors, his most important task at the moment is to improve the level of his laws.

When he reaches the tenth level of the law and possesses the same strength as the five great immortal kings, or even higher, it will not be too late to talk about repaying his gratitude.
